Doors: 7pm / Show: 8pmOver the course of their twenty-one-year career,
Okkervil River has released nine albums that have given frontman Will
Sheff a reputation as one of the greatest working songwriters in the
country. As Sheff and his shifting lineup of players have traveled the
world many times over, they’ve made fans ranging from Lou Reed to
Barack Obama and been praised by outlets from the New York Times to
NPR to Pitchfork, who called Sheff “One of indie rock’s most
ambitious thinkers.” 2019 will see Okkervil River’s
two-decades-plus trek around the globe captured and anthologized in A
Dream in the Dark, a 12-album live series that follows the group from
their shaky and earnest beginnings to their sweat-soaked barnstorming
rock club days, and from big festival sets into mellow acoustic
improvisations. Along the way, A Dream in the Dark presents an
alternate history of Okkervil River through the lens of their concerts
instead of their albums, drawing from a deep well of recordings
catalogued by Sheff and by fans throughout the years. Each installment
of this sprawling digital series will come with detailed liner notes
including essays and journal entries from the time, interviews with
band-members past and present, profiles and collaborations with
Okkervil River fans, and copious archival photographs.
To coincide with A Dream in the Dark, Okkervil River will be hitting
the road this summer in a stripped-down trio lineup in a reprise of
their popular “Rarities & Requests” touring format, where
they’ll be playing stretched-out and often highly spontaneous
requests-only shows in intimate listening-room venues.
